A royal protection squad officer reaches for his gun amid crowds at the Glastonbury music festival fearing Prince Charles is about to be attacked.
These extraordinary images show how the suited bodyguard reached to the small of his back ready to release a pistol as a potential suspect broke the security cordon surrounding the prince.
Moments after Charles’s cavalcade of Range Rovers dropped his party off in the busy Greenpeace field during an impromptu visit to the festival last month, a bearded man in a red shirt and shorts is seen rushing in the prince’s direction, arms outstretched, with a raised voice.
